Now knowing that it's property tree related I've done more investigating and this behavior applies in 3 cases (see https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=560285#p560285 ). And for anyone finding this through search, you can actually set LuaGuiElement::caption to a LocalisedString containing Lua...

LuaProfiler says "They can be used anywhere a LocalisedString is used." However there are 3 locations I found where LocalisedStrings are part of property trees causing this to not apply (meaning LuaProfilers are not usable). I'm pretty sure I've gone through and tested all data structures...

I see, that makes a lot of sense. I will simply ask for a note about that on the LuaProfiler page, since the reason why I thought it was a bug was because LuaProfiler says "They can be used anywhere a LocalisedString is used." I'll make a post in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f...

What When trying to assign a LocalisedString to LuaGuiElement::caption that contains or is a LuaProfiler it errors: Value must be a string in property tree at ROOT.caption[...] Expected I would expect it to accept the LuaProfiler and show its elapsed time/duration. On save load I would expect it to...

The description for `scroll_mode` for LuaGuiElement::scroll_to_item mentions "scroll-pane", contrary to the function's (correct) description saying "listbox". The description for `scroll_mode` for `scroll_to_element` seems to be identical, it is correct in that case, just make s...

According to my tool there are 0 (latest 1.1 releases of) mods on the portal with `unlocked-recipe` in any of their .lua files, and I believe this to be accurate. While I agree that keeping docs up to date is important, and adding a notice in the changelog is good as well, I am incredibly happy to s...

Oh good point, it's not addressed in regular Lua. I'll see about reporting it to them, though I'm far less confident reporting to them.

Regardless, if it is addressed in upstream Lua, I will let you know

What When Lua tries to get the debug synbol name / varname for a register it crashes if that register currently has a "local" name that is `NULL` (or 0 or nullptr, whichever you prefer). Expected I'd expect Lua not to crash, and I believe it is because this function assumes that all varna...

We have done some profiling as a group effort in the discord and have noticed that by far the slowest mod in this case is fCPU. You can see the report for details. As for what you can do... well Removing the mod, trimming and then adding the mod again isn't really an option. So, unless i'm terribly ...

When ghost dragging substations next to unpowered entities the substation ghosts get placed too early/close to each other resulting in coverage overlap. Example.png Reproduction Place entities like steam engines or assmeblers in a row, for example using this BP: 0eNqN1cFqhDAQgOF3mXO27CRxo3mVUorbDktg...

Nice! Really wasn't expecting a fix so this is a happy surprise

Note First of all i'm just reporting this to explain how it happened so you aren't confused by the auto uploaded crash report. I personally don't consider it fix-worthy. The ultimate reason it happened was because i had to create my own `base` mod in order to create a new save using `--create foo` ...

Great to hear!
I've since written a script to make other cases reproducible which seemed timing related (which are actually cursor location delta related), but i shall wait until next release to see if those have also been fixed

There are several cases where smart belt dragging ends up placing belts on the incorrect row or column or the belts are facing the opposite direction. These are just 3 cases i managed to reproduce. Syntax: starting with belts facing north (^) . = start ^ > v < = move cursor one tile in that directio...

Alright, well it's a mod now: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WiderNoticeTextBoxes
It being a mod doesn't really achive what i was hoping for, but hey if people like it they can have it now.
If it changes in the game itself i'll just deprecate the mod.

I'll just weigh in with my opinion: that box isn't there for us modders. It's there for players to copy the stack trace and send to us. With debugadapter and VSCode you get immediate access to not only the line that broke, but a full stack trace, complete with variables (including up-values) and th...

Intro You can safely skip to the TL;DR. I just go over details and context. Background So with longer file names or bigger folder structures or function names, it's not uncommon to see error notice boxes like these: Screenshot 2020-12-04 014858.png where the lines start with: __modname__/ 'function...

LuaPlayer::get_active_quick_bar_page returning nil is correct behavior and is well documented. Oh right, sorry. Always embarrassing when you don't read something that's right in font of your face. Issue was already fixed (for 1.1) by adding a range check for the page_index. If it will be out of acc...
